Compatibility

The app works with android version > 2.3 (Gingerbread). The app has been officially tested with Nexus 4. Please contact me at google groups to report success/failure stories so that I can update supported devices here.

c. Wifi followed by data: Tries wifi first, if not not available then tries data. (slowest as it tries both)

4. Email Alert Options:

a. Enable Email Alert: When checked sends email. The data sent to the server is RSA/AES encrypted. The data is not stored in any database or in sent folders of the alert emailer. If you lose the alert email data then there is no way to recover it back.

b. To: The email address alert to send to.

c. Subject: Default subject is shown as hint. You can change if you wish. Helps for filtering/forwarding purposes.

d. Device Name: Default is Android. It is used in the email subject by replace #DeviceName and possibly in email body.

5. Dropbox Options:

a. Enable Dropbox Upload: When checked you will have to approve Unlock Alert app to create its app folder where it will upload the alert data. Note that the app does not have permission to access anything else in users dropbox account.

6. On: When clicked you must allow app to monitor unlock attempts.

7. Test: Runs a test with the current configuration. Please note to run this and see if the app works with your device.

I am hosting 2-3 redundancy server for this free app to alert using email. I plan to buy a unlockalert.com/.net/.info domain to use for description and emails. If you think this app is useful please consider donating the domain for a period of atleast 5 years.
